@James: Pls. I'm just putting that out there. We'll see what will be results of protests. I gave a place back to car I unfortunately had crashed straight away, even he was 15sec behind me.
Maybe, since I see I had so many little incidents with bottom half of the grid, maybe I should change my approach when racing with them, godforbbid that I ever have to again, not taking half chances or leaving them any chances, or in other words driving more safely.

Racing with all of the people inside top 6 was amazing and I enjoyed that very much.

I didn't, just to put it out there. I'd pick more convenient number of laps left to do that.
Anyway, half of the grid should have their licenses taken away. I can't believe half of the things I had seen. I'm just gonna be straight. Many of you can't measure in many of things things with guys who qualify in top 10 and it's just dumb luck you were ahead of some of us. Please understand that and have some respect, instead of ruining my race.
@Nathan: It wasn't clear what you were trying to do, maybe you gave signal light, maybe I didn't see it..

Not drifting is faster. I once drifted in the last lap of a very competitive race and some Usaac driver didn't drift and because of that he came close and touched my drifting car in the rear end, which then sent my drifts to oblivion. That's why.

Quote from Franky.S :was more my fault tbh . would of been nothing but lfs decided to go full retard and flip me

Yeah.

It's worth mention that I really enjoyed this racing with Franky. Just pure action, no strategizing with dirty intentions in our minds. I did make a perfect dive on him once, but he did follow superbly thru twisty stuff and made perfect dive back.

We discussed it and since you want to know, I never had time to see him running wide, I was on brakes all the time and I didn't spin him out.
The flip itself, I only tried to pull him out of the slide by hitting the nose of his car, but LFS resorted to terrorism. Just makes you realize why sometimes they don't allow teammates to race each other in F1.

Quote from bbman :Yes, racing into points positions before any safety car interventions TWICE in one race, it's all down to luck, no skill involved whatsoever... :rolleyes:

Also, I only saw one mistake, and I remember he was last at the first restart, I really don't consider that getting away...

Nobody tries to deny skill from Prost, Mansell or Schuhmacher just because they happened to win in dominant cars... Hell, even Senna most of the time had a car that was superior to all others in the field... This bashing Vettel is quite baffling and frankly makes you lot sound desperate...

+1
He got up the grid then down for wing change and amazingly from near last to 4th, tires and SC helped only up to pass Button, 2 more points, sooo lucky.

FIA must give penalty to Vettel. No stopping on track to save fuel for inspection. Remember Hamilton in Spain.

This is gonna be hell of a race. \o/

Yeah, FZ5 doesn't feel too difficult to drive, more like gt3 car, but I think that's because it's only car without a turbo and we have so much FZR experience. I believe that someone less experienced might not handle it so very well and might say FXO is easier to drive. FZ5's problem might be it's weight and that's why it might have lost time in sc2 of bl1r (Essses). So maybe adding more weight would be bad, just needs 1% less? Just a thought after hearing Dennis' impressions from Fern Bay.

PMD is an expert in this testing? Would like to hear him on this subject.

P.S. lol bl1r has a huge straight, fxo can't be too slow...

My first experience with slick-mod. Gave it an hour, drove a 100Kms.

Impressions so far are that FXO is too freakishly quick. It's just bang on into the 19s. Yeah, it might be little bit slower with R3 in the race and on straights, but car is IMO atm by far the quickest of the lot on clear pace.

XRT is got this weird wobbly feeling which i dont like, probably need a bit stiffer suspension to get rid of that. Very quick as well. Tires look to be heating up tbh, and maybe r3r3 in the race even if r2r2 race tires dont work.. live for slick guys know more about that i guess.

FZ5, well the car is beautiful over the curbs and heats tires less than xrt surprisingly, but im surprised to see it so slow in sc2 and yes I fixed the gearing. I suppose it's over-restricted as I did more laps in it than xrt and xrt was straight equal on pace with it. Maybe 1% less and 10kg instead? Didn't really check top speed delta.

RAC, well a horrible car of lfs, still horrible with slicks, Yann showed its quick, but its horrible to drive with it's snappiness and still better tires than any other car... I'm afraid RAC might be quickest with proper setup...

RB4, I did only 1 lap in it and it's really quick, but eats up fronts and most deff needs stiffer tire in front for race. But horrible to drive as I don't like 4wd tbh.

Quote from kart-36 :Haha you can't pick your own penalty The admins have decided and as Walter has already told you, it's final.

Yeah, I can't pick my own penalty. You got that. Still, my point is their decision was rushed in and if something like that ever happens again they should take their time before they make it final, not take only 10 minutes and quite possibly make a wrong decision again.
Quote from kart-36 :Just drop it and next time think twice when you spin me that's all

Who said I will spin you out again? Who said I will even be in position to spin you out?

I can't understand why do you want to qualify so badly on pole position if you hate racing alone and then go waiting for me. For me there is no better feeling than when I lead race from pole position, all alone in my world, pulling away from everyone else, cosistantly, making a nice gap to them.

If you don't like it like that, qualify 3rd or 5th or something and do what you like more then.

Quote from kart-36 :End. ()

LMFAO Fat smilie. The end.

Now, when we have established what has happened. I can't be a hypocrite and say it's just a racing incident. It was more of my fault than it was yours. I was more erratic with my wheel moves trying to force countersteer lag and your hitting into my car and perhaps hitting back few times as well. And obviously this caused avoidable incident more on behalf of my actions than yours, so I believe I deserve a penalty, just as my team-mate (Michel) did deserve penalty in GT2WS Final race for contact with GenR Am.

However, it is not a clear case of wrecking or ramming and it's just one driver overstepping the mark a little bit more than the other. What this means is a DT penalty should be applied. This is why I said TRR admins decision was rushed in.

On the other hand your move later in the race was clear case of revenge wrecking and obviously for this two incidents penalty can not be the same and that doesn't do me justice.

Have a look at the replay sexy baby and my words will be confirmed about bumpdrafting and everything else.

Let people know the truth.

The supposed incident where I wrecked Joe is a combination of many factors and I believe Walter and Anton are nor experienced nor qualified well enough to judge.

After watching replay many times, making screenshots to analyze, here is what I see based on facts.

It's a combination of Joe making a first push to not ti be so squeezed, then me really standing my ground whilst he was bumpdrafted by Mikko and then we made second contact and he was still being bumpdrafted thru contact, then there is a little bump in the track and bumpdrafting then stops just before the bump, I guess Mikko knows bumpdrafting over bumps is not the best idea. But, Joe's control over car is not as great whilst he is being bumpdrafted and I consistently push back at his every push and eventually instead of door to door banging, since he is bumpdrafted he is now well up ahead, which I couldn't see from my cockpit (big FOV), and over the bump we make contact front to rear, cars become tangled (LAG) and as both drivers are still forcing into each other the driver in front is being unluckily spun out.

That's how the story of that incident looks to me, based on facts and factors of both drivers pushing into each other and one of them being bumpdrafted whilst doing so.

So, again I believe TRR admins are not experienced enough to make good judgement, especially not in 5-10 minutes time, whilst heat is at the maximum between everyone right after the race. What do you think why it takes hours to make good review? Why do you think NDR takes days to make judgement, weeks even....

Yeah, but he said he'll retire in RedBull, so sweat dreams haha. I've once said and I say it again Rory needs to stop consulting and start working in Ferrari again. If Dominicali can't make this happen, he needs to find someone else then, cos Costas replacement obviously sucks... which well as conservative as they are will not happen, so we're doomed to wait 2014 to see Ferrari engines bring them back to play.

RedBull reminds me of Williams from 1991 to 1996 when Williams was genius in electronics/aero department just as RBR is in aerodynamics now. Interestingly, Williams suddenly dropped off once Ferrari and McLaren cought up with them back then, but it took them what 6-7 years! Judging by that Ferrari and McLaren are doomed to keep slacking for next 2-3 years in aero department in best case, because obviously there are no free test runs like back then.

Only difference I see from RedBull to Williams from those days is that RedBull has a brilliant driver, whilst Williams just kept changing them after they lost their greats.

I dno toki, u cant blame RedBull for being so good, Ferrari just keeps playing too safe and they should fire Dominecali or do something, anything, radical! Their approach is more boring than RBR's winning.

Ferrari is too useless and it might be Alonso's fault somehow, I can't explain how, but it just might be his fault.
